Allergies and IBS… At the same time!
That’s right, the comedy RPG Athenian Rhapsody promises players that they will be able to experience the delights of both of those at the same time. Nice.
The game provides a whole ongoing universe of content for players to engage in. This unique online experience is called the “Rhapsody System”. Every playthrough you will write a unique Rhapsody. This is an individualised story that is a retelling of the journey you just took.
Each decision, interaction, and friendships are reflected on. Is everyone going to become your dude in a chill playthrough? Or will you be a twisted maniac who replaces chocolate milk with muddy water from a local nuclear accident? It’s entirely up to you. No two Rhapsody’s are the same and you can share them online with other players.
Key Features
- Explore the colourful world of Athens, and hop from town-to-circus-to-UFO-piloted-by-cats-in-the-sky as you write your Rhapsody
- Answer a deep, meaningful personality test that reveals your deepest, darkest desires (such as wanting to be a bus driver)
- Party members galore! 16 potential companions await, each with a bold personality and some being a little bit more unhinged than others
- Tons of enemies for you to FIGHT or BEFRIEND! This world has no shortage of intense battles with opponents that range from weird, wacky, tough, cute, and outright goofy!
- Figure out why everyone’s wild for hoarding EXP (hopefully it doesn’t have any side effects) and engaging in tough Souls-like dating mechanics(?)
- Minigames that’ll challenge your limits, like having to spell your own name, dodging space invaders, copying the circus mimes, and paying your taxes
- A branching narrative with different endings depending on your choices, friendships, and other stuff that just happens in life
